xoupsis

this is a post concerning the story of xoupsis (in english that would be pronounced hoo-psish, but in greek it is spelled like xoupsis).

xoupsis is the sound that one makes when he snores, assuming that the long deep inhale sounds like hoooooooooooooooooo and the hissing exhale sounds like psis.

it was conceived by me and my sister when we were little kids (at about the age of 10). we used it to describe the sound that our dad made while sleeping in the noon. :P rather sweet ain't it? :P

later on -as we got bigger and wiser- we forgot this "word", but at the age of 25 i dug it out from the grave in order to use it as a post-modern, sweet and new baby talk word. of course very few people actually know and use this word (the one is me and the other my friend irene), but i believe that it has the potential to conquer the world :P irene associated this word with me, because i sleep too much. so, now i am a little silly xoupsis for her :P

this was the story of xoupsis :P

that's all.
